Dinner with Nakasos'

We have a nice dinner with Nakaso Family.
Mai really likes to hang out with Lua and Mayu.
Haru also likes to play with three girls together.
Hiro and I enjoy a great meal at their home.

Party with Nakaso Family

Since Christmas is coming soon. I decide to throw a small party with our friends, the Nakaso's. I make some American food and prepare for a small children table for the girls. The party turns out great and fun. We have fun with friends.

At the same time, we all miss our friends in Taiwan, Hawaii, Singapore, U.S.A, and all the places. We miss you all. Wish all of us could meet again someday.
Friends are such important for us.........:p

在聖誕節即將來臨的前夕, 我們終於有機會邀請了中祖家庭來到訪. 我們一起玩遊戲和享用我比較拿手的美式料理. 小女生們都很開心屬於她們自己的公主桌. 雖然我不是個好廚師, 不過我想大家應該都吃的很飽.......:p 飯後我們更享用了由中祖家庭所帶來的美味日式布丁. 短短的3個小時為我們家庭帶來的很棒的時光.

同時, 我們的家庭真的很想念所有我們在世界各地不同的朋友們. 雖然現在大家都各在不同的國家中生活,但很期待有一天我們都會再見面的時光.

What a nice sister you are! Thank you for picking up so many cute dresses for Mai. She loves all the dresses that you and Dollymom sent to us. Time surly passes so fast that you are 15 years old already. When I first met you, you were only 8 years old and we loved to sleep together. We loved to chart and chart until Dollymom came to us not to talk any more. I miss you so bad. Just wana let you know that you are such a nice sister and Antie. I love you and wish you would come to visit me and my family soon.

Happy B-day to all of you---April friends

Don't know how to express all my feelings well. We have been friends for 6 years already. Can you believe that we didn't even want to talk to each other the first time when we met?! 謝謝妳總是陪伴我, 聆聽我的抱怨. 謝謝妳每次都提前來幫我一起準備party的食物. 謝謝妳都一直記得給Mai準備每一年的X'mas Present. 更感謝妳在天父的家中陪伴我經歷人生中第一次的恩道門. You know what?! Welcome to visit us anytime. You will always be our favorite guest. Happy B-day, girl!

I never met you; however, I think about you often. I am so happy to hear that you are such a healthy and chubby boy.


4/30---Kouma Pono Yamada
Boy! You turns to 3. Time passes so fast that I still remember the very first you were born at Kahuku Hospital. You were such tiny little one and sleeping in the baby bed peacefully. You have a brave mommy that she didn't even yell out when she felt the contraction. I did enjoy to baby-sit you when we were living at TVA. Happy B-day!

4/30---Ann Sao
我們真的很瘋在S.H時.妳的涼鞋真的非常cool, 一輩子都忘不了妳不穿校鞋的日子. 說實在的, 妳跳的熱舞比我還棒100倍. 我很想念我們都還在女校的日子. 將來我們也一起把我們的寶貝女兒們送到S.H去, 讓她們體驗一下我們的快樂. I miss you and happy b-day, girl.

Happy B-day to all of you---February friends

吳姊, 從小妳的年紀就是我們這7仙女中倒數第2小的. 妳的個頭卻是第一高的. 我時常都忘記了原來妳真的比我還小, 成熟的妳確時常教導我, 幫忙我. 現在妳更是在我有需要時, 教導和照顧我的孩子. 我們雖然不常見面, 但是每逢一相聚, 卻又不會陌生和遠離, 我想這就是天父送給妳我之間最棒的姊妹情誼. Happy B-day my girl. I miss you.

2/25---Melanie Han
Living in Hale 5 with you was such a great and joyful experience I had. We were cleanning our room all the time. We would always enjoy talking and being with each other. We said prayer each night together and greeted each other in the morning. We were just like sisters and family. You are my first and last roommate in Hawaii. I am so happy for you that you also found the Mr. Right now. I miss you all the time, Mel. Wish you happy happy B-day.

How excited Mai is to put the new dress on.

終於像個女孩子了

Thank you so much for being such a great friend to us.

We miss the time we had with you at BYU-H.

Thank you for being such a great God-mother to Mai.

See! How perfect the dress is to suit for her.

She was very surprised to open the gift from you and couldn't wait to put it on.

Although we are apart now, remember that you are always a part of the Tomois.

We wish you a happy new year and enjoy your trip to Hokaido.
